Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

The world is tumultuous, and Great Xia is also experiencing many changes.

In Shapudian.

With an agreement signed, Glory City and Eastern City, along with Great Xia's Caiyun Province, have officially begun the "integration" process.

Simply put, it means that the economies of both sides are fully integrated, and the various systems of the two cities are beginning to align with Caiyun Province.

To the average person, this is an inconsequential matter because it does not affect their lives at all.

On the internet, various voices have emerged.

"The hungry Eastern Giant Dragon, annexation of neighboring Shapudian, has finally begun!"

"The old overlord has fallen, the new overlord has just ascended, and already shows a great ambition to expand its territory!"

"The current territory of the Eastern Evil Dragon is 12.63 million square kilometers, Shapudian's territory is 870,000 square kilometers. I don't think it will be long before their territory becomes 13.5 million square kilometers, as the Great Xia People's thirst for land and resources knows no bounds. Maybe in a few years, the land they occupy will become 23.5 million square kilometers, or even 33.5 million square kilometers."

All of the above voices are desperately trying to play up the "Eastern Evil Dragon threat theory," attempting to make the Eastern Evil Dragon the culprit for disrupting world peace.

Yet, the Shapudian People as parties involved, reacted unexpectedly calmly.

In Glory City.

The seventeen-year-old girl, Ma Miaodan, or rather Zhang Qianqian, is curiously examining her new document.

This is the new version of the national ID she received.

The appearance is identical to the Great Xia People's national ID.

The difference is that one is titled "Shapudian" and the other "Great Xia."

Her little boyfriend, Zhou Furu, said with a smile: "From now on, you can take the high-speed train, stay in hotels in Great Xia, just swipe this national ID, you don't need to apply for a visa anymore, because the data in this national ID is entered into the Great Xia system."

Ma Miaodan exclaimed, "Oh," and said: "It certainly makes things much more convenient."

Now the two have officially established a relationship, and even both sets of parents have met.

Zhou Furu's parents are very satisfied with this flower-like jade girl, not only is she beautiful, but also gentle and virtuous, marrying without requiring a bride price, house, or such things.

Both sets of parents have even agreed, once Zhou Furu reaches 18 years old, to get engaged, and when he's 20 to hold the wedding.

At this moment.

Ma Miaodan's pretty face shows a look of yearning: "I want to see the Forbidden City, climb the Great Wall, and even hike the Five Mountains."

She also recited an ancient poem in eloquent Great Xia Language: "What of Mount Tai? The green hills of Qi and Lu remain. Nature rings with divine beauty, and the yin-yang split brings dawn and dusk."

The erosive force of dominant culture against weaker culture is vividly displayed in this girl.

It is completely foreseeable that in just two or three more years, she will psychologically completely transform into a Great Xia Person.

Zhou Furu laughed and said: "Two months ago, your wish to climb Mount Tai couldn't be realized, because the entire mountain was sealed off, the yetis often appeared in the wild, so the officials completely sealed Mount Tai."

Ma Miaodan paused for a moment and asked, "What about now?"

Zhou Furu said: "Mr. Ghost and Mr. Spirit Crows founded the Six Paths of Canglan, among which the Azure lotus path and Vast Tao require careful appreciation of Great Xia's poetic culture.

"It has been proven that touring famous mountains and rivers greatly helps in understanding poetry's essence.

"To facilitate cultivation, the officials have already opened many scenic spots, the Five Mountains being one of them.

"Now the safety of climbing Mount Tai is not a problem anymore, because the officials have deployed a cluster of drones and War Spider Guards, surveying Mount Tai day and night."

Ma Miaodan immediately responded: "It seems the Five Mountains will soon be crowded because everyone in the world wants to climb the Five Mountains."

Zhou Furu nodded and said: "Ancient poets of Great Xia wrote so many ancient poems, Great Xia's tourism industry is about to boom, and in the future, Great Xia will definitely become the world's most popular tourist destination.

"Before the Age of Calamity, the annual output value of Great Xia's tourism industry was 8.4 trillion Xia Yuan, while the annual output value of global tourism industry exceeded 125 trillion, accounting for 6.7% of the global.

"It is expected that in ten years, Great Xia's tourism industry output value will climb to 60 trillion Xia Yuan, occupying at least 40% of the global."

Ma Miaodan admiredly said: "You know so much."

Zhou Furu smiled, not mentioning it was information learned from chatting with his parents over dinner.

The two chatted for a while, and the topic again turned to the new document.

Ma Miaodan asked a question: "I heard the new document also comes with many benefits, right?"

Zhou Furu is quite knowledgeable about this and immediately gave an example: "Great Xia's welfare has increased a lot recently, as long as you have a child you can receive 20,000 Xia Yuan, it used to be only 10,000.

"Anyone with this document, as long as the child joins Great Xia citizenship, can also receive the same amount of money."

Ma Miaodan decisively nodded: "Our future children, of course, will join the Great Xia citizenship."

Zhou Furu momentarily dazed upon hearing "our children" in this sentence.

He himself is still in school, physically and mentally not yet mature, really can't imagine what being a father entails.

Ma Miaodan curiously asked: "By the way, how many children are born in Great Xia each year?"

Zhou Furu thought for a moment and answered: "I remember last year over 43 million were born, this year they expect 56 million."

Ma Miaodan exclaimed in disbelief: "So many?!"

The combined birth population of two years exceeds the entire population of Shapudian, Great Xia is truly terrifying!
